Amazing food, friendly owners, and a welcoming atmosphere!Will definitely be back to try other dishes on their menu!My criteria for RECOMMENDABLE Filipino Restaurants includes: Taste of nostalgia Authenticity over Fusion Portion size enough for sharing Rice to meat ratio must be thought out Prices that wouldn't suggest "make it at home yourself" I also judge a Filipino Restaurant by their Halo Halo - I am critical about this.The menu reminds me of what Filipino Restaurants in the Philippines would serve BUT the dishes they serve are the staple Filipino household home cooked meals which just hits me with nostalgia.It might be preference, but I like how the dishes are also cooked and prepared in a more traditional way - from the ingredients that are normally used to how they are served.Portion sizes, although served in individual plates, are big enough to be shared. We had a group of 4 and 4 different dishes were the right amount (plus the side of lumpia).It might not be an issue for most, but yes, rice to meat ration do matter. If I still have rice on my plate by the time the meat/protein is consumed, I believe that not enough of the actual entree is being served. It wasn't the case here.Prices - reasonable and fair especially for the taste. I've eaten at places where I regret spending the money for dishes that I could've made at home for cheaper at a similar quality and it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Thankfully my experience here wasn't one of those moments.NOW THE HALO-HALO.I can't rave enough about it, but absolutely the most authentic, tasteful, and generous Halo-Halo I've ever had in WA. Yes, that's a bold statement, but I'll stand by it.Not a single ingredient was missing and a good amount of each were used! A lot of places would miss the ube spread, flan, pinipig, mung beans, or even serving it with a long spoon, but CheBogz had it all! To top it all off, they had the Stick-O wafer sticks!Will definitely come back even for just the Halo-Halo

Tried a variety of dishes to share and my favorite was the sizzling sisig. The green sauce (cilantro, garlic, vinegar) added something special to the meal. The flavor combination was delicious, esp on top of rice. Kare Kare didn't have a strong peanut flavor like I was hoping, but the beef was tender and flavorful. Can they bottle up the green sauce and sell it? Because I would buy! So happy this place opened up in my neighborhood! Will definitely return!

When you're craving for a big meal lunch or dinner, head to Chebogz and you'll be rewarded with a happy tummy! Filipino dishes or I'd say meals are big and heavy (and heavenly too) and the Filipino tradition of sharing is a way of life. At Chebogz, there's no limit to that tradition! Just got off the plane with just pretzels, my daughter took me and my husband for a sumptuous lunch and we were delighted to have a casual and familiar Filipino meal in this bright unpretentious restaurant simply "to eat"! After an expected big meal, we didn't get to the sweet endings! Next time we know what to do when we come back! A big platter of goodness like pansit, chicken adobo (needs a bit more kick), langgonisa (sweet and savory flavor), a side of lumpia, and soft nicely cooked rice made our meal perfect! Oh yes the chimichurri was a big plus! Let's Chebogz!

I arrived here for lunch on a weekend and the place was packed! Parking wasn't hard to find as there are lots of street parking. Atmosphere: Excellent. The restaurant is very cute and trendy, making it a good casual date spot or to meet with friends. Service: the staff was nice and helpful in explaining the dish and give recommendations. The staff brings food to you, the rest of the service is self-serve. There's a counter with sauce, napkin and water. Food: the food came fairly fast.Pork sinigang: I have never heard of this dish before, and it's worth a try unless you don't like tamarind. The soup was quite sour and the pork was tender.Sizzling fried sisig: the dish came sizzling and smelled amazing! The pork belly was crunchy and flavourful. Don't forget to get the green sauces from the self-serve counter, it's delicious and goes well with the food! The portion was filling as it came with rice and pancit. The food was solid and comforting. Overall, I would come back for the fun atmosphere and solid Filipino food.

Located right next to the Beacon Hill Station, this place offers some great food. Casual vibe - order at the counter, and they will bring your food to you when it's ready. Sizzling fried sisig (add that egg!) is the way to go, and make sure to order Ube Milk Cake to finish a perfect meal. We also tried the Beef Inihaw, which had a good grill taste and was well-seasoned, but the meat was a bit chewy for my liking.

Friendly service, clean cafe with several tables and art on the walls. Ordered Grilled Sisig and date ordered the longinisa! Both dishes came with rice aand pancit. Longinisa is sweeter than what I expected. I liked it better! Sisig was a bit saltier than I liked, however paired with the white rice it was just right. The ube milk cake is a dessert I have not tried before. It reminded me of tres leches cake. Moist and spongy in the middle. Sweet and a great dessert after a tasty meal. Portions were great. I ate half for lunch and the other half for dinner. I also saved half the dessert for a nighttime snack I was hoping they would have outdoor seating because we brought our little small breed pup. The owner was a nice enough for us to have our little pup sit in the corner of the restaurant away from the crowd if he was friendly and behaved well. We did and appreciated that he allowed it! We came from the south end just to try this restaurant that I have heard had good Filipino food. I'm glad that we have more Filipino restaurant with home cooked food. I hope they would add something healthy on the menu in the future and outdoor seating.

I grew up in Hawaii, and my next-door neighbor was a Filipino family. When all of their kids would head to McDonald's, I would sit in the kitchen with their mom and watch her cook. She would feed me until I could barely walk. This place not only brought back fond memories of that time, but satisfied every craving I might have. Pens it may look like it's easy because it's just a bunch of noodles. But there is a specific flavor and texture that it Hass to have in this was amazing. The chicken adobo Was so on point. Lumpia were delicious. And that green sauce practically stole the show.Honestly, I would give it five stars if it were open a little bit later. They're mostly open just for lunch. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Super friendly service, and extremely clean, bright, and colorful interior.

Delicious and yummy. Ordered DoorDash many times and they don't disappoint!I liked the lumpia and bbq chicken.

Food significantly improved since July 2023! My most recent visit was on a Sunday at 2pm so tables were available. Portions are generous. Free 2hr parking nearby and right outside the Beacon Hill link rail station.Pork Sinigang - Yum! I love a sour soup and the tamarind flavor was there. Reminds me a lot of Canh Chua (Vietnamese sour soup). Big chunks of tender pork.Sizzling Fried Sisig ($18) - The fried pork belly was crispy. The onion and bell pepper balance it out so well. Doesn't feel too greasy/ heavy.Island Combo ($17) - Great for people that want a little bit of everything. I recommend this if it's your first time having Filipino food!Mango Milk Cake ($7) - Mango + tres leches = perfection

This was our first time at CheBogz after hearing so much about it! Upon entering, we were greeted at the front and the cashier was super kind and patient with us. She answered our questions about the specials of the day but mentioned they didn't have it posted yet (it was about 2 hours from opening). The cashier was also really kind to come back to our table later on during our meal to refund a double charge she noticed on our bill! As for the restaurant, it was beautiful inside with lots of paintings and memorabilia to the Filipino culture. The inside was bright and there were lots of tables, perfect for hanging out with friends and family. One thing to note is that this spot relies on street or residential parking, which was hard for us to find on a Sunday afternoon. During our visit, we got the Longganisa ($14), Island Combo ($17) and the Sizzling Fried Sisig ($18). I'm not sure if I just came on a bad day, but I wasn't really impressed with the food unfortunately. The longganisa was standard and tasted good, but I think it's really hard to mess up longganisa. I was really looking forward to the sizzling sisig, but the pork was a bit soggy and unlike sisig I had in the past. We were expecting crispy/roast pork on the skillet, but it didn't seem like the pork was crisped prior to plating. As for the island combo, I liked the lumpia, but it wasn't anything standout. I definitely want to give this spot another try in the future to see if their Kare Kare is any good. However as a whole, I was kind of disappointed in the quality of food and taste. :(
